It’s no secret that the NYC Department of Transportation wants to make the Big Apple more pedestrian and bike friendly, but the department’s plans go way beyond pop-up plazas and bike lanes. Much to our excitement,we just learned the the DOT wants to put a pedestrian plaza, a la Times Square, in every single community district in the city. Considering that the Times Square plazas have drastically improved the air quality in Midtown Manhattan, more spaces of the same type throughout the entire city would make a huge impact on air pollution.
